Thanks G - will be making a decision at weekend when I’m home from a residential course as to whether I go there or to Global in March. If I go with Jerez, will ping you a PM Lina - can’t reply to your PM as you’ve used your allocation. PM me an email address or number for WhatsApp and I’ll reply there! |
Congratulations on getting the offer Trevor!
My Stage 3 is coming up - any tips on what I might expect or what I should think about during my preparation? Obviously you can't go into specifics but any feedback would be super helpful! Thanks and congrats again |

Flight Operations Assistant and Flight Operations Manager have attracted my attention. What is NATS like with reserves? I would have to sign up for 12 years, and may have to leave for 12months at a time. Would this affect my chances of getting in? |
I’m a Reservist Flight Ops Assistant (or will be after I graduate this week!) and they’d no issues with that at all. In fact, NATS won an award for their commitment to the Armed Forces last year and have signed up to the Armed Forces Covenant: https://www.nats.aero/news/nats-reco...ces-community/ You would need to take a career break from the Reserves, certainly while at college as there would be no scope to allow you time out for Annual Continuous Training. Will be different on unit but you would likely need to talk to the unit when you get there about it. |

Hi, just found out this morning that I’ve passed my stage 3 interview and have been offered a place on the Jerez course starting February (providing I pass medical etc). Is there anybody else starting this course? From this I gather there’s a group chat somewhere? Thanks, Matthew |
Congratulations Matthew, very well done! |
Thanks very much Trevor, congratulations yourself! Are you on the Jerez course in Feb?
|
Quick question - has anyone who’s done the course with Global gone onto Area? Know that they don’t normally teach Area there... |

Nice Trevor! Good work. There's a whatsapp group for those starting Jerez in Feb if you fancy joining. Just PM your number.

I don't think so. Just ADI and APS ratings. (Unless you fail the Basic and get recoursed to CTC)

Evening.
In the not so distant future, I'm doing the FEAST test with another ANSP. I've read that the FEAST Part 1 has changed. Without giving specifics about the tests, if someone has done it recently, could they say if it has changed dramatically from the original? Is it still the cube folding/ball on the wall/shape sorting tasks? Thanks! SG1980 |
Had my stage 3 yesterday and just got the call to say I'm in (conditionally), Gloucester starting March 1st. Can't quite believe it but obviously very pleased! Just wondering if a whatsapp group or anything has been started yet for that course, I know it's a bit later than the other courses a lot of you have been offered. Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing some of you there!

Congratulations leclerc16! How long has that taken then from your initial application to conditional start date?
Day 1 - Take and pass stage 0, invite to stage 1, pass stage 1, invite to stage 2 Day 2 - Booked stage 2 Day 38 - Attended stage 2, pass confirmation later the same day Day 40 - Booked stage 3 Day 76 - Attended stage 3 Day 77 - Confirmation of conditional offer Day 178 - Conditional start date :) I could've chosen earlier dates for stage 3 but I wanted to make sure I felt fully prepared so you may be able to go through the process faster. Hope this helps someone! |

See, nothing to worry about! ;)
Will see you again when we get back from Spain! :p |
No one on here can give you the answer to that - you need to speak to NATS HR department and they can advise you on what your options are

Hi, thanks for all the valuable advise on this page, it has answered tonnes of questions I would have had,
I'm flying down from Glasgow on Monday to do stage 2 on Tuesday. Even saw someone mention the ibis in Southampton I'm staying at for 2 nights. Looking forward to it but nervously trying to memorise all the aircraft details. Anyone else going on Tuesday, send me a dm and also if anyone has tips on how to memorise the data in a small time frame, iv tried flash cards and even recorded myself on my phone to listen in the car 😂 it would be greatly appreciated. Good luck to everyone still to sit assessments and waiting to hear the results.
